Abstract:		 The watching brief excavations comprised a small area of ground-reduction, and a series of foundation footings associated with the construction of a new porch. The excavation area measured 2.40m by 1.90m. The width of the foundation excavations measured roughly 0.50m. They were orientated east/north-east by west/south-west and north/north-west by south/south-east. The general ground reduction measured c.0.30m below the current ground level, while the foundation excavations reached a maximum depth of 0.90m below ground level. The excavation of these trenches were not monitored by an archaeologist on site as John Moore Heritage Services were not informed when the groundworks had begun. An archaeologist did attend site after being informed by the client that groundworks had taken place. Archaeological finds, where observed in situ, were recovered after manual cleaning. During the course of the watching brief excavations, a substantial buried soil deposit was observed. In-situ finds recovered from this deposit included pottery, animal bone and glass. The pottery was dated to late 19th century or early 20th century. This deposit it most likely associated with activities in the yard area to the rear of the former building which occupied 1 Stert Street. Further remains included a series of modern foundation wall cuts as well as a series of modern made-ground and levelling deposits. No other archaeological features were uncovered.
